Wall beds for homes in New Malden
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, to a wall and floor that can take the load. We check the wall and floor at the measuring visit, because the fixing has to suit what the wall is made of. If your home has a flexible room for a growing family and shelves or a desk around the bed, wall beds made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
A good part of the housing around New Malden is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the box room over the stairs is a classic spot for fitted furniture. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.
Our quotes are written in plain words. They say what will be made, what it is made from and how it will be finished.

Flats, conversions and lettings
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so tell us about it at the design visit.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.

FAQs: wall beds in New Malden
Do you make wall beds for homes in New Malden?
Yes, we work across Kingston upon Thames, New Malden included, and across the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Is parking a problem for fitting in New Malden?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking at the design visit.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, but it is useful to be around at the end.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out, and you keep the space in front clear and children away while it moves.
How are wall beds priced?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. A single bed cabinet and a full wall with shelves and a desk are very different jobs, so we quote once we’ve seen the room. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.

The wider area includes historic houses like Southside House, about 1.6 miles north-east. For a period home anywhere nearby, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.

From workshop to your room
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- You tell us about the room and who the bed is for. The bed can sit among shelves or beside a desk.
- We visit to measure up and look at what the wall is made of, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- We send a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and storage, ready to check.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies. We show you how the bed works before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Ask for a quote

Advice
How it is made
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting suits a cabinet that should match the room’s woodwork.
Bed mechanism housing
The mechanism sets the size of the housing and the bed size you choose.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A sofa bed is cheaper and simpler, and for occasional guests that may be enough. A wall bed takes a proper mattress and gives back the floor, which matters in a small room. Bays, box rooms and stair bulkheads are where off-the-shelf furniture struggles most, and interwar homes often have all three. Fitted furniture is made around them.
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, which the quote allows for. Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit.

Looking after your furniture
People planning wall beds often ask about these. They’re worth knowing whatever the room:
- Think about how often the bed will be used
- Follow the mechanism maker’s mattress guidance
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
- Lower and lift the bed steadily
Follow the mechanism maker’s guidance each time you lower and lift the bed. Lower it steadily and keep the space in front clear, with children kept well back while it moves.
Check how much floor there is in front of the cabinet. The bed needs room to fold down, so think about where a chair or desk will go.
